Nostalgia and Mattingly

[mrmopar]

Someone who knows exactly may chime in, but I had one at one time.
Not sure how I got it even, but traded it to a Yankee collector friend.
I believe it was some sort of promotional item, that might have come with something else, like a book, game, promotional appearance or something like that. I also recall it being in the annual Beckett or Krause Almanac at one time and that might have more info. In fact, I'll go check for that now because my curiosity is piqued now.

Quick question: What's the story behind the World of Baseball card? I've never seen one of those.

Well that is a whole lot of uselessness!

Well, it's good to know. Thanks for the research. Now that I've been made aware of it, of course I had to buy one. Covid has done a number on my wallet, but boy am I enjoying the rabbit hole of Mattingly cards.

Thanks!
